About this title

Synopsis

Innovation is not always a welcome guest as it challenges the status quo and can increase both organizational uncertainty and ambiguity. Roadblocks and blockheads often threaten to derail even the best of ideas. Author Neal Thornberry is the first to codify a unique and little known set of leadership skills necessary for keeping ideas alive within the organization. Armed with Thornberry’s 7 Secret Innovation Judo principles, even the most daunting of barriers can be neutralized. This book introduces you to pioneers who have succeeded even when their organization’s culture was not particularly friendly to new ideas or even downright hostile. Thornberry offers a new diagnostic tool to help assess a company’s current receptivity to innovation called the Innovation Landscape Survey. With a wealth of practical tools provided, you will learn how to counterbalance innovation killers as you strive to build a world class organization.
